About the Project

An opportunity for Kalamazoo

Abraham Lincoln's legacy of character, achievement and leadership has tremendous potential as an educational model for instructing young minds. Everything from ethics and elocution to the value of literacy and the importance of hard work, honesty, and personal responsibility can be drawn from the life of Lincoln. The values of equality, fairness, justice, and mercy are all illustrative of the Lincoln legacy.

Our aim is to capture the imagination of young people and encourage them to pursue excellence inspired by the example of our nation's 16th president.
